Look what happened today in the Harbour 17.03.08

Fished in the arvo today with Drkcld, i was the first one to hook up the kingie. This time its the first time on my 30lb braid outfit. So i was confident, usually on the 2kg gear. So i turned up the drag and was fighting it, it was around 75cm model weight. Then it kept running and then popped my leader, cuz i totally forgot about the 20lb FC leader i was using. If i remembered i wouldnt have turned the drag that high, around 80% drag.

Then me and drkcld burleyed for some yakkas with bread, dropped my size 12 hook in with a bit of prawn. I hooked up and it felt heavy. Then it started running out! w0ohooo im on again! Fought for about a minute. But this kingie was small probably a small rat 50cm to 60cms. It ran then got so tired and was just liek a dead weight, i pumped an wind in the video, and then it tried for a run again WHILE i was pumping, then quickly popped my 10lb leader !!! argh! ahwellz as expected with 10lb line

there goes my day.

Drkcld's 2kg gear was next, got smashed by a bigger one probably around 70cm. He was using 6lb fireline and 10lb trace. Fought and fought it swam around the place left and right and then it went under and pyloned him HAHA. The fight was pretty long too, around 5 minutes, but it was no where near tired out.

HAHA Drkcld told me he has only landed 1 kingie out of 30 kingy hookups.

For me still Zero:4 hookups

His a video of me pumping the kingie
